American neuroscientist
Ed Boyden, a renowned MIT neuroscientist and co-inventor of optogenetics, had a sustained professional relationship with Jeffrey Epstein from at least 2013 through 2017, including dinners at Epstein's New York home, a visit to Epstein's New Mexico ranch, and a high-profile 2015 Silicon Valley dinner organized by Reid Hoffman where Boyden was the featured guest alongside tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.
Boyden appears extensively in personal correspondence and scheduling emails between Epstein, his assistant Lesley Groff, and Boyden himself. The documents reveal multiple dinner invitations at Epstein's New York residence, phone call scheduling through Groff, discussions about a topic called 'Deception' with other scientists, and a 2013 visit to Epstein's New Mexico ranch with Harvard's Martin Nowak. Boyden was also featured in an Epstein-circulated EDGE interview highlighting him as 'the best and brightest of the younger scientists.' The emails span from 2013 to at least 2017, indicating an ongoing relationship well after Epstein's 2008 conviction.
